Teenage Clerks Brilliantly Foil Would-Be Robber

Best attempted-robbery story in a while: When a guy in a lame disguise walked into a Subway store in Coventry, Rhode Island, and demanded money, the young clerks simply ignored him until he went away, reports NBC News. Or as police put it, "the two teenage employees did not respond to the suspect." The poor guy didn't seem to know what to do at that point. He "became agitated and mumbled something under his breath as he walked out of the business," say police. As for the disguise: That's a white T-shirt on his head and a plastic bag on his face. Cops have released his image and would like a word. (Read more weird crimes stories.)

I don't think there's been a murder in Coventry in the last 20 years. Tough to be scared out there, especially when an unarmed guy wearing a trash bag, is robing you.

Perhaps the boys knew the robber, maybe he was the father to one of them, and they changed their mind about ripping off the store. Or, quick - Perry - declare teens boys arrive to work just like going to the movies, by strapping on some heat. Do it quick before Cruz or any of the others get credit for saving Murica!
